Best Buy quit selling Huawei phones

[me just sayin]

It is going to get harder to find Huawei phones. Best Buy is following AT$T and Verizon by not selling the phones. Wonder if the government pressured them too? It is just about to the point where if you want one, you will need to order it online.

Best Buy, the nation's largest electronics big box retailer, has ceased ordering new smartphones from Huawei and will stop selling its products over the next few weeks, according to a person familiar with the situation. Best Buy made the decision to end the relationship, the person said.

It's a shame they can't get a foot-hold in the States. I guess I get where the concerns are coming from since they're a Chinese company, but they make nice devices. I really liked the Nexus 6P until I had enough of people saying they had trouble hearing me on calls. Haha

IMO, more options is always better for the consumer, especially when they make quality devices at a more wallet-friendly price (at times).

just ran across another article about this and Best Buy is also eliminating the whole Huawei product line including laptops and smartwatches.

Best Buy won’t sell Huawei phones, laptops, or smartwatches anymore

I saw on Twitter earlier that Huawei had their billboard trucks parked outside of Apple & Samsung stores today, trolling them. Ha

I wonder who they made mad

 

[me just sayin]

the fcc now talking about not giving federal subsidies to companies using Huawei.

FCC could block carriers that use Huawei equipment from receiving federal subsidies

I thought it was just about Chinese spying/hacking.

And I guess we're just going to ignore that Lenovo is also a Chinese company, despite Thinkpad being a major player in business laptops....

I think it's funny that the Android news sites & Unbox Therapy are tweeting from the Huawei event in Paris today. I know they've got fans all over, but it's gonna be hard to get their new devices in the States.

I think there is more to it than just a spying/hacking case.

I don't. I think it's really that simple. Our government thinks that company is "in bed" with their government and ours is putting pressure on companies here to sever all ties with their products. I'm not saying there is any truth in these claims, and nor do I really care, I'm just saying I think it's that simple.

Idk. I like to imagine that Apple & Samsung are putting pressure (& dollars) in the right place to keep them out of this market. It's easy to use the Chinese government as a scapegoat/scare tactic on this one. It's an electronics conspiracy.

I suppose that is possible also. We will probably never know the whole story or full truth.

Considering it involves government &/or Big Business, you're right.
